| 20100044410 | Endovascular Stapling Apparatus and Methods of Use - An endovascular stapling apparatus for delivering a staple to a vessel of a patient, including a plurality of clips, a housing, and a rod. Each of the clips includes a bridge and legs that self-transition from a biased state to a natural state in which the legs each form a loop. The housing defines a channel and a window open to the channel. The clips are retained within the channel in the biased state. The rod is slidably disposed within the channel, selectively moves the clips toward and away from the window, and releases the clips from the window. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20080208329 | HANDLE MECHANISM TO ADJUST A MEDICAL DEVICE - An apparatus for adjusting the position and orientation of a medical device within a patient's body includes a distal portion, a body portion and a proximal portion. The distal portion has a lumen for receiving at least three control tubes. Each control tube houses a control wire that is attached to the medical device. The body portion is connected to the distal portion by a ball-and-socket joint and configured to receive at least one control wire. The proximal portion is rotatably and slidably attached to the body portion and configured to receive at least one control wire. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20100274187 | Centering for a TAA - A stent graft is deployed by a steerable catheter delivery system having a integral tip capture release mechanism. The steering mechanism provides for a locked interference with a distal lock at the distal end of the delivery catheter. The configuration allows for selective circumferentially distributed release of one half or less of the number of crowns of a proximal spring which are captured by a tip capture mechanism so that new positioning of the stent graft can be verified and assured before full release of all proximal spring crowns is done. In this way, one or more steering elements of a catheter can be maintained in tension until catheter position is verified and acceptable stent graft position is achieved. This apparatus and method is particularly useful for deploying stent graft in curved passages such a thoracic aorta. | 10-28-2010 |

| 20100170919 | CONSTANT FORCE MATERIAL DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD - Systems, devices, and methods are provided for dispensing material from a container. Devices can include driving means for providing one or more forces, and actuator means for activating the driving means whereby the driving means causes material to be dispensed from the container. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20110106131 | Systems and Methods for Closing a Percutaneous Vascular Puncture - A system and method for closing a percutaneous vessel puncture at the conclusion of a vascular catheterization procedure includes placement of an intravascular closure device having a tubular membrane mounted about a radially self-expandable scaffold. A tether is attached to a midpoint of the closure device and extends externally therefrom. The closure device is placed by a delivery catheter extending through the puncture site and is radially expanded in a location upstream or downstream of the puncture site. The tether extends through the vessel puncture and tension applied to the tether slides the closure device into a position covering the puncture from within the vessel. | 05-05-2011 |
